Quotes:

Michael Devlin:God helps the defeated

I thought this was a powerful comment on faith.

I felt that this was an empowering film. And an interesting one from the standpoint of the history of the Jews in the Hebrew Bible. (My husband is in seminary, maybe that's why it hooked me. Interesting, thought-provoking movie.

The alliance of the Irish, fatherless boy and the Rabbi is something that we should look to in a world where alliances are becoming more important. In a world where diversity should be celebrated and seen as an opportunity to learn and grow, while still maintaining identity, this would serve as a good movie for students and young people to see. To realize that there are wonderful things to learn, adopt, practice from all great faiths and cultures. Rather than condemning them for these histories or practices.
